Specifically, the communication server 130 receives order data for one or more items sold by one or more sellers, performs validation of the order data with respect to the one or more sellers, And proceeds to settle the item corresponding to the data.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, the online ordering method of the present invention will be described in detail.

2 is a flow chart schematically illustrating an on-line bulk ordering method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, an online bulk ordering method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user confirmation step S110, a large order interface display step S120, an order data receiving step S130 for one or more items, An inspection step S140, a step S150 of requesting settlement of an item corresponding to the order data, and a step S160 of displaying whether or not the settlement is made.

First, the online bulk ordering method of the present invention starts when a user accesses an online bulk order interface (S110) while confirming the user. After confirming the user, the large-sized order interface is displayed together with the necessary information according to the past usage history of the user (S120). The case where the user has a history of using the online bulk order interface in the past will be described with reference to FIG.

When a user accesses the bulk order interface, the bulk order interface begins operating in a stand-by mode where the user can receive orders for products sold by one or more sellers. In this case, when a user wants to purchase items sold by one or more sellers according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mass order interface may provide the user with at least one seller information and / And may provide information about one or more items sold by one or more sellers. At this time, the bulk order interface can provide a function that allows the user to newly register a large order list or edit the order list.

The bulk order interface receives order data from the user in stand-by mode (S130). The order data includes information about one or more items sold by one or more sellers selected from the user. The order data may be generated on the mass-order interface according to the method or embodiment of the present invention, or may be implemented in the form of receiving article information or article data to be purchased from one or more sellers. The bulk purchase interface may generate order data based on one or more pieces of seller information set in advance and item information the user wants to purchase. The order data can confirm the information of the goods corresponding to the order data to the seller by performing the order validation step (S140) as the next step.

The order validation step (S140) performs validation of the order data with respect to one or more sellers. The order validation can provide the seller with information about the goods ordered by the user, by displaying information such as availability and price fluctuation of the goods corresponding to the order data to the seller and displaying them on the bulk order interface. That is, when a list of goods sold by one or more sellers the user intends to purchase is generated in the bulk purchase interface, the bulk purchase interface confirms whether the user can purchase the goods from the seller. If all the items that the user wants to purchase are available through the order validation, they are displayed on the bulk purchase interface display. If there are items that can not be purchased, or if there are items that are priced different from the prices displayed in the order data, Displays on the bulk purchase interface display.

For example, users often order large quantities of various items. At this time, if it is not possible to confirm whether the goods to be purchased are in stock or fluctuate in price, there may be a disruption to the user's business activity. By using the mass order interface of the present invention, it is possible to provide convenience to the user by reflecting the availability of the goods to be purchased or the price fluctuation in real time through order validation.

In the order validation step (S140), when a change occurs in the order data due to circumstances such as the user changing the item, the validity check is performed again based on the changed order data. For example, when a user edits a large order list, the order data for the edited large order list is newly received, and the order validity is again performed based on the newly received order data.

When the validation is completed in the bulk purchase interface and the payment instruction is received from the user, payment is requested for the item corresponding to the order data (S150). Specifically, in this step S150, a payment is requested to the user so that payment can be carried out on the item corresponding to the order data. At this time, the user can be provided with a variety of known payment means such as credit card, mobile phone payment, point payment, and the like.

When a user requests payment, the bulk order interface proceeds with settlement of items corresponding to the order data to each of the merchants. Specifically, when the user requests payment using the bulk order interface, the bulk order interface proceeds with payment for each item of the seller in response to the order command requested by the user.

In step S150, if the changed price of the goods corresponding to the order data is not reflected in the order validation step S140, the billing information for the difference amount is received after proceeding with the settlement. Specifically, when the price of the goods corresponding to the order data is higher than the price paid by the user, the billing information on the difference amount can be received and provided to the user and the seller. Further, even when the price of the article corresponding to the order data is lower than the price paid by the user, the billing information on the difference amount can be received and provided to the user and the seller.

For example, if the seller is small, it is not easy for the user to grasp whether the goods he / she wants to purchase from the seller are in stock or fluctuate in price. With the mass order interface of the present invention, it is possible to grasp, in real time, the availability and price fluctuation of the goods to be purchased through the order validation step.

When the settlement is completed, the result of the settlement request is displayed on the bulk order interface (S160). Since payment may not be made depending on the situation of the seller, each payment request result for one or more sellers is displayed. If the user has made the payment in the payment request step S160, a message indicating completion of payment can be displayed. If the user has not proceeded with payment, the message indicating payment incompletion can be displayed. The user or seller can confirm whether or not to make a payment based on the billing statement displayed in the bulk order interface.

According to the on-line bulk ordering method and system of the present invention, a user can order products sold by a plurality of sellers at a time with only one payment. For example, in general, a wholesaler (seller) often operates offline. At this time, the user visits the wholesaler directly to purchase the article. In particular, when the article to be purchased is sold by various sellers, To visit the site. However, by using the online mass-ordering method of the present invention, it is possible to solve the troubles of the user having to visit the wholesalers one by one and purchase the items sold by various sellers at once by one payment.

3 is a flow chart schematically illustrating an on-line bulk ordering method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, an online mass ordering method according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a user confirmation step S210, a mass order interface display step S220, a step of displaying previous order data when there is a use history S230), checking order validity of the previous order data (S240), requesting settlement of an item corresponding to the previous order data (S250), and indicating whether or not to make a payment (S260).

A user confirmation step S210 of an online mass-ordering method according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a mass ordering interface display step S220, an order validation step S230, a payment request for an item corresponding to the order data Step S250 and display step S260 are the same as those of the on-line bulk ordering method according to the embodiment of the present invention described above with reference to FIG. 2, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

However, in the present embodiment, if there is a history that the user has used the online mass-order interface in the past, the previous order data is displayed (S230).

In this step S230, when there is a history of using the mass order interface in the past (in the case of an existing user), the previous order data is called and displayed. Therefore, when a user reorders a previously ordered item using a large order interface, order data reflecting the previous order data is automatically generated so that even if the user does not newly create an order list, You can reorder.

For example, a user often trades the same item repeatedly from multiple sellers. In such a case, it is troublesome to make a purchase list every time a transaction is performed and send an order to the seller. However, when ordering using the bulk order interface, the previous order data is automatically generated so that the user can conveniently reorder items such as previous orders even if the user does not create a new order list.

Next, the order validity of the previous order data is checked (S240). The order validation can provide the seller with information about the goods ordered by the user, by displaying information such as availability and price fluctuation of the goods corresponding to the previous order data to the seller and displaying them on the bulk order interface.

For example, users often order large quantities of items repeatedly. At this time, if it is not possible to confirm whether the goods to be purchased are in stock or fluctuate in price, there may be a disruption to the user's business activity. By using the mass order interface of the present invention, it is possible to provide convenience to the user by reflecting the availability of the goods to be purchased or the price fluctuation in real time through order validation.

When the change occurs in the previous order data due to circumstances such as the user changing the item, the validity check is re-executed based on the changed previous order data. The process of re-performing the validation and the subsequent steps are as described above with reference to FIG. 2, so a detailed description will be omitted.
